| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of makerspace is to allow patrons to learn through direct experimentation and from each other. It is more about the intentions of the makers than about the qualities of the space itself. This paper seeks to contribute to makerspace literature in the academic libraries in Nigeria. The authors examined this through understanding the purpose and history of makerspace, what is done in makerspace, value of makerspace in the academic library, procedures for establishing makerspace, challenges and way forward. Conclusively, makerspaces can be seen as an emerging phenomenon that could help form positive directions for academic librarianship and learning technologists, an opportunity to be involved in supporting a less distant, more embodied and human relationship with technology and of teaching information, digital and critical literacy in a new context. | |
